The IDF shot a Palestinian Authority man in the leg on Sunday morning.

The man was attempting to infiltrate into the village of Meitar, located in the Negev, north-east of Be’er Sheva and near the Yatir forest.

When the man was spotted cutting the fence protecting the town, the troops first fired warning shots in the air, which the man apparently ignored. They then shot him in the leg.

He was taken to Soroka hospital in stable condition.
